In addition, the kit includes a free companion app (for iOS and Android). Users can go on 17 Star Wars-themed in-app missions with the droid, leveling up as their droid and programming skills advance. The idea is to inspire kids to become creators, not just consumers of the tech they use, the company said in a statement.

The companion app is available for iOS and Android.

“We’ve created a gender-inclusive product that celebrates kids’ own self-expression and ingenuity, while showcasing the same characteristics of imagination, grit and invention that are embodied in the Star Wars franchise,” said Ayah Bdeir, founder and CEO of littleBits, in the statement.

“The littleBits Droid Inventor Kit has the elements to be one of this year's hot toys," said Jim Silver, CEO and editor-in-chief of TTPM, a toy review site for parents, in the statement. “It combines the huge fandom of Star Wars, STEAM, and tons of creative fun. Its open-ended design and deep engagement will be particularly appealing for both kids and parents, ensuring long-lasting interest through repeat play.”

The kits is now available through Walmart, Apple Store, Amazon and littleBits.
